Press Release: Businesses Get the Tools They Need to Do Well By Doing Good
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Chicago, IL, April 18, 2007: Amongst the most conscious of the business community at CO-OP America's Green Business Conference in Chicago, Susan Hyatt, CEO, launched Business Nonprofit Connections, Inc., her Denver-based company's new name and services to bring her expertise and passion about the importance of thoughtful business involvement in communities to small and mid-size business owners. Both community impact and business results can be maximized through strategic and deliberate partnerships between business and nonprofit organizations, but all too often these partnerships either fail to materialize or fall through. Business Nonprofit Connections grew out of Susan Hyatt's over 15 years experience working nationally on organization development and program evaluation in the nonprofit sector. During this time, she became familiar with the challenges regarding nonprofit sustainability and resource development. "Nonprofit organizations provide a myriad of crucial services to the public, making a significantly positive impact on communities -- but so often they struggle to find the support they need," says Sue Hyatt, CEO of Business Nonprofit Connections. "Helping businesses recognize the mutual benefits of strategic partnerships and the many meaningful ways they can connect with nonprofits that go beyond checkbook philanthropy not only helps businesses achieve their goals but also creates sustained, positive change in communities." It was from this desire to maximize community impact and help small and mid-size businesses grow through their community involvement that Business Nonprofit Connections was born. As a professional coach and trainer, and a passionate community member, Sue decided to reach out to both businesses and nonprofit organizations to offer her expertise. Business Nonprofit Connections works with both for-profit businesses and nonprofits offering live training, webinars, toolkits, speaking, and one-on-one coaching/consulting services on creating and maintaining strategic partnerships to maximize community impact and business growth. More and more businesses are realizing that their community involvement is not only morally right, it makes smart business sense. Eighty percent of consumers care about a company's community involvement and choose to buy from those businesses that support causes. Business Nonprofit Connections is on the forefront of this movement helping companies throughout the country support community organizations in more strategic ways, by aligning their support with core business goals while having a real impact in the community. "Doing well in business and doing good in your community aren't mutually exclusive," says Susan Hyatt, CEO of Business Nonprofit Connections. "We offer guidance to businesses in all stages of development to help them get more strategically involved in their communities." BN Connections guides businesses in creating strategic and mutually beneficial connections with nonprofit organizations. For additional information contact:
